It wasn't the plastisol. I've been told by folks much smarter than me that in the world of inks, plastisol has little to no effect even on under exposed stencils.
Your cleaning chemicals could be another story completely.


Richard Greaves;

Harmless plastisol is like salad dressing. We can get away with uncured stencils because there is no damage to be afraid of, but water-base or solvent ink attacks the raw inside and the screen breaks down. Of course, many printers are then furious when they cleanup with stronger than needed solvents that chemically bond the uncured stencil to the mesh making stencil removal impossible.
